He had to keep the lead as Leicester were unable to create any real chances. Roma managed to win 1-0 and Mourinho will have to decide whether to make another substitution or change tactics. Leicester have been without a European final win in 31 years. Despite losing the gameā€š the Portuguese manager appeared overcome with emotion after guiding his team to a Europa Conference League final. After the gameā€š Mourinho was spotted crying and hugging his coaching staff. The Italian coach is not everyone's cup of teaā€š and Roma's style is not the most aesthetically pleasing. Howeverā€š the win is a huge win for the club. The team under Mourinho has come a long way in their first season. Despite not having Champions League successā€š Roma have made it into the Europa Conference League finalā€š and their manager could be in for a very rewarding end to his first season at Roma.

Tammy Abraham's performance in 1-0 win over Leicester City

In Roma's 1-0 win over Leicester Cityā€š Tammy Abraham scored the only goal to secure the three points. The win qualified Roma for the Europa Conference League finalā€š which they won on aggregate. Leicester had little chance in front of goalā€š failing to create any meaningful chances. This result was particularly disappointing given that they have won the Premier League and FA Cup in the past six years. This defeat has essentially sunk Leicester City's season. Brendan Rodgers' side are no longer in the relegation zoneā€š but they're also too far off the top four to be a legitimate challenger for the Champions League. The 1-0 loss at the Stadio Olimpico ended the Premier League season for the Foxes. The Foxes' inability to score from set pieces was a key factor in the resultā€š as was insufficient service for star striker Jamie Vardy. The match was an absolute drubbing for Leicesterā€š with the Foxes conceding four corners in the first 10 minutes. Howeverā€š this was no fault of their own. Abraham's header was exceptional as he leapt higher than any other player to head the ball past Kasper Schmeichel. In the first halfā€š the Foxes looked passive and lacked creativity in attackā€š with Jamie Vardy and Wesley Fofana looking isolated up front. The Foxes did introduce a substitute at halftimeā€š but the win went to the Reds. Roma will face Feyenoord in the Europa Conference League final after winning the game on aggregate. It was the Italian champion's first win in the competition and Roma will face Feyenoord in the final. They'll meet Feyenoord in the finalā€š and the winner will be crowned the Europa League. The match was marred by fan violence. The fans of Feyenoord threw bricks at the visiting team's bus. While Leicester City's defence held their own against Roma's back-lineā€š they failed to break down the Roma defence. They had woeful first touches and inaccurate passing. The referee failed to spot a foul on Wesley Fofana inside the box and made other questionable decisions. Despite thisā€š Leicester City remain comfortably mid-table in the Premier League. Tammy Abraham's first-half strike against Leicester City helped AS Roma to reach the final of the Europa Conference League. It's the first time a manager has reached the final of a major European competition with four different clubs. Tammy Abraham has now made her debut in the Europa League for Jose Mourinho's side. Once againā€š the former Manchester United and Chelsea manager will be looking to add to his collection.
